This actually isn't true. Servers makr minimum wage, if all night they were tipped $0 then the resturant is required to pay them more hourly to hit minimum wage. Their combined pay from tips and the restaurant's pay must meet minimum wage. That is a federal law so it applies to all states. States can increase the minimum wage but cannot decrease it.
- zeroego 5y agoAh good to know, thanks for sharing!
- macmcleod 5y agoHave you ever worked in one of these positions? I worked in a few and my base rate was $2.13 an hour. If my tips for the day didn't put me over minimum wage ($7.25/hr at the time) on average, the place would pay me more. The people that had that happen more than once a month were fired.
- happypenguin 5y agoI'm not suggesting to not tip, just correcting the misinformation. Servers are guaranteed minimum wage.
